If its a retailer you are a regular at they will most likely be more than happy to do you a favor that doesnt cost them any money.

There isn't a card, the code is printed on the receipt.

I ordered mine (the 360 version) through Best Buy and the code came on a little card inside the case. Perhaps it's a 360 thing?

I doubt it, it was probably just put there by Best Buy. Gamestop gave it to me on my pre-order receipt, so it's either Gamestop, or High Moon decided that it should only be a pre-order exclusive on PS3.

At Ebgames they just gave me a card that had the code on it. I went to Best Buy today to see if maybe they had any spares and they told me they put the cards in the cases. Sucks, scout is kinda my main and Jazz would look so sweet Hopefully they will do DLC with them soon or something.

Gamestop did the reciet code thing. They do it that way basically so they know the code went to someone who bought it, not an employee who might be tempted to grab extra for firends. Bestbuy had there first shipment with the card packed in game case because they want to move the product quickly without promotion hassels. That being said formerly working for a large company that sold used games many people do leave these things in the box even reciets so if your at a store take a look you may luck out

"Luck out" is an understatement. Think about it, the game hasn't even been out one week, who would return it with an unused code inside of the box?

Prospects are a bit bleak eh? I'm sure it can happen, as I have done it with games that I just didn't get into. But I can't really see and employee letting you have the part you want without purchasing the game. The EBgames' by my home are all pretty strict with how they work things. Guess I'm outta luck unless High Moon takes pity and releases DLC.

when you unlock each character it also unlocks them for multiplayer creation

you have to take your code to the game website to redeem it then it will give you your dl code to redeem on your system

Activision has in the past made store exclusives availible as purchase dlc, with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 they made Juggernaut, another Gamestop only character, availible for like 80 microsoft points or $1

they also took down all dlc for MU2 including the new challenge discs and the 4 new characters, 3 weeks after they posted Juggernaut in december
